UTA Gets Slammed By Audit

Wow. I guess this is why we have audits. If the report is correct, I hope some people go to jail for this.

Who are these auditors? They sound like internal auditors? I'd like to see if the external people concur.

UTA is more or less a GSE, so even if it's a state audit it's "outside". Regardless, the people who perform these in-state have a job to do and IMO generally have a bit of ethics in performing their jobs. That's a nice aspect of living in the Utah ethic which most here seem to take for granted... They're actually a little overboard with some of the wrong headed recommendations they make IMO.

A little on Valentine -- he's from the UTC, which is our stronghold of Utah's brand of conservativism (BYU land), which obviously hates public transit or anything public with a passion. WTS, I doubt there was any foul play with the audit as the findings sound typical of an audit. They always find something. I'm not comfortable damning anyone based on one, or three, or whatever the various recent articles have painted.

That's coming from a guy who loathes the waste that is UTA. We spend a very significant chunk of our annual budget on it. It's sold here as a pollution solution, which is by far the biggest bull **** anyone could ever claim, and the GSE nature pisses off the majority of the state when we see what private sector "servants" are paid to manage a public service.

I doubt it.

There was allegations of this before the project even broke ground and the over sized salaries were in the paper then.

I really think that our public transit system should be handled by UDOT.
